Reason why I say that is because it ships around there. However I do know that PAL has a different number of lines on their televisions. Um, basically do you have a TV that states that it has 480p or something?

The difference in visual quality of most Wii component cables will be hard to tell apart. The main price difference comes from cable length. In order to keep the same noise/signal ratio on longer cables they have to use better quality components, shielding etc. which increases the cost. Pretty much any Wii component cable will get the job done. You prolly wont be able to tell the difference between a $30 cable and a $60 cable, so really get what you're comfortable with. But you will notice that the more expensive cables are usually longer.

It has component terminals (Y/Pb/Pr) and HDMI, I know that 480 isn't strictly HD but i'm hoping it will work. The gamecube left a bad taste in my mouth last time round as only the Septic Tanks got 480p/i gaming

I ordered mine from Nintendo store like Thursday, and on Friday I received a shipping email and a tracking number from UPS so anyone really looking to get some component cables shouldn't have too much problem now. Unless I'm the luckiest SOB with a Wii.
